Chapter 361: Just Another Meal (2/2)

With her talon- like nails, she struck out, pulled Chen Liu in from the back of his neck.

”Time for a meal!”

Her mouth opened wide as she bit into Chen Liu's neck, ripping the flesh off.

”No, brother!”

Chen Qiu screamed all the rage and sorrow as he watched his brother get devoured by her.

And then the dots connected.

”You... you were the beast! The one killing all of those soldiers.”

This realization gave rise to the horror in his very core. The wounds on his brother were similar to the victims More than that, she confirmed it herself. Looking back at Chen Qiu, her appearance slowly returned to a youthful one, giving a naive and innocent smile.

”Like I said, I was too busy looking after my youth to care.”

She dropped Chen Liu's corpse and held up the other brother by the blades of her scythe. Red veins glowed upon it as the fangs absorbed Chen Qiu's life force.

”Truly, the best meal of them all.”

Fu Zi stabbed her hand into Chen Liu's chest, ripping out his entrails and eating it. Chen Qiu could do nothing but watch as he had the strength sucked out of him. In his last moments, he could only speak a few words.

”Why? Fifth Senior Sister? Why?” he asked.

As his body shrunk to skin and bones, she answered him.

”I would have prefered not to but I haven't had a good meal in so long. Keeping up this form takes quite a bit to maintain.”

By the time Fu Zi finished talking, Chen Qiu was dead and her fanged scythe, cut him in half. The skull returned to having blank expression.

”Hmm, let's go get that tusk and return to the others. As for these two, I suppose we can just say they died trying to protect me.”

Giggling at that thought, she walked up to the dying Gold Tusk Elephant, which was barely breathing. But its stare was still full of life, glaring at her as she came. Fu Zi stared back, her eyes carrying a playful look.

”Hee hee, what? Still want to fight? You're just a few breaths from death, you know.”

Spinning her scythe, she stabbed straight into the beast's neck, cutting it open and letting the blood spray out. The light from its eyes vanished as it died. After extracting the unbroken tusk from the Elephander, she left the scene as someone watched her from a distance away.

Fu Zi turned around, looking at her surroundings before continuing her way.

”Must be my imagination. It's quite quiet, is Second Brother done now?”

She muttered quietly before leaping away. Moments past before a figure looked out, checking the vicinity before walking out into the open. This mysterious figure looked at the two bodies before checking the Elephander.

”Poor thing... I can't save it.”

They seem dejected, unable to prevent the beast's death. Looking towards the direction of Fu Zi, there was a look of determination on their face as they chased after her.

”I can't let her do something like this and leave so easily. Her accomplices must be there!”

Stealthily, this person followed Fu Zi towards where Ming Yue was. As for Xiao Yin, the Star Owl was long gone, returning as soon as the Elephander had been defeated.

Ming Yue's eyes opened as soon as she sensed Xiao Yin's return.

”They're coming.”

She grabbed her sword and prepared herself, hiding among the trees. Both of her pets were by her side, ready to support her.

”I'm not fully recovered, about sixty to seventy percent there. This is going to be difficult.”

Unfortunately, there was not enough time for her to fully recuperate. Fu Zi had already arrived.
